Morris & Friends fabric collection Morris & Co

Morris & Friends fabric by Morris & Co with leaves, tendrils and flowers

With Morris & Friends fabric you bring a densely overgrown garden into your home, with leaves, tendrils, berries and flowers that fill the surface without any empty spaces. In Morris & Friends by Morris & Co, foliage always takes the leading role. Sometimes it grows freely across the fabric, sometimes it is mirrored in neat rows. The execution varies too: woven foliage with hatched veins, embroidery in which you can see the stitches, and prints that resemble block printing. The palette ranges from aubergine and burgundy to bright blue on cream and white on indigo.

Patterns in the Morris & Friends fabric collection

On Acanthus Tapestry fabric, acanthus leaves as wide as half a seat curl over one another, in aubergine, burgundy and sage green on a dark ground. Artichoke Embroidery fabric is lighter: blue artichokes are mirrored in rows, with small pink flowers in between. Bramble fabric sets light grey bramble leaves and ochre thorny stems on indigo. Fruit fabric shows branches laden with pomegranates and citrus fruits, Compton fabric combines poppies with tulips, and in Forest Velvet fabric peacocks and hares roam among the leaves. Lilies and scrollwork form the basis of Golden Lily fabric and Golden Lily Minor fabric.

Morris & Co fabric in the room: scale and colour

Which Morris & Friends fabric suits you depends mainly on scale and colour. In the photo, Acanthus Tapestry upholsters a Chesterfield sofa in a library with oak panelling, where two leaves together fill the seat. Bramble covers an armchair with navy piping against a white panelled wall and looks cooler there. If you want a light, symmetrical surface, Artichoke Embroidery with its blue on cream is the more obvious choice.
